Frequently Asked Questions
Didn't find your answer? Please don't hesitate to reach out.
The Gmail connector supports Google OAuth2 authentication. You provide an access token (optional, obtained via refresh), a refresh token, a client ID, and a client secret. Alternatively, in hosted mode, credentials are stored securely in Airbyte Cloud and you authenticate using your Airbyte client credentials.
Can I use this connector with any AI agent framework?
The connector is compatible with any Python-based AI agent framework including LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, and custom implementations.
Does this connector support write operations?
Yes, the Gmail connector supports write operations. It can send emails, create and update drafts, modify message labels (e.g., mark as read/unread, archive), move messages to or from trash, and create, update, or delete labels.
How is this different from the Airbyte data connector?
Agent connectors are specifically designed for AI agents and LLM applications. They provide natural language interfaces, optimized response formats, and seamless integration with agent frameworks, unlike traditional ETL-focused connectors.
Will there be a platform for agent connectors?
The hosted version with secure credential storage through Airbyte Cloud is already available. See the hosted usage section in the documentation for setup instructions.
